Trump🚨will govern by DECREE...
Reuters Legal article references the "decree," as a way to continue the White House's dystopian agenda.

"This year, the NRA is on pace for its lowest spending on congressional ads and voter outreach in at least a decade. Meanwhile, gun violence prevention groups like Everytown for Gun Safety and Giffords are approaching spending levels that rival the NRA at its height."

News from the voting center I’m working at on a Community College Campus in LA:
We had a surge of students who had turned 18 and were registering to vote today. Absolutely run off our feet! And it’s not even Election Day. Tomorrow is going to be wild and it’s so encouraging to see the younglings coming out to vote!
The kids are alright folks!
From #Senator Chris Van Hollen @vanhollen.senate.gov
Musk's pouring $500+ million into our #elections while he rakes in $16 BILLION in taxpayer-funded contracts. A fat return.
We need to pass my bill with @robertgarcia.house.gov to close the loophole that lets CEOs grab government contracts with one hand while forking over campaign cash with the other.
Vote like your life and our Democracy depend on it, because they do. If you don't vote, it just might be the last one you get if certain groups get their way. #IVoted #Elections #Election2026
The violent contents of Jesse Van Rootselaar’s two ChatGPT accounts are far more extensive and disturbing than previously known. A republication from Mother Jones.
I’ve been syndicating my blog to MSN News since forever. Yesterday I published a post to my linkblog that points out MSN Copilot cited a random site by a right-wing guy in 75% of its election-related answers. This morning I coincidentally received an email informing me I’m kicked off of MSN. Fun!
if anyone witnesses something like this or has trouble voting there is a phone number to call 1-866-OUR-VOTE

Apple has begun rolling out its "always-listening" tech to Watch users, which summarizes conversations & allows live replaying of the last 15 seconds of audio. It's very gross, and no way for others to opt out.
I wrote back in Sept. why this Apple feature is a very bad idea: https://this.weekinsecurity.com/watch-what-you-say-apple-opens-the-door-to-a-nightmare-world-of-always-listening-tech/
Social media platforms have glitches near elections, but "Meta just needs to have an affirmative plan for this and not just try to respond as they happen,” EFF’s @davidgreene told @arstechnica. Until then, “they’re not going to dispel suspicion that things are politically motivated.” https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/11/trump-wanted-to-give-no-kings-no-air-then-meta-suspended-its-instagram/
Here @FoxNews y’all left out some context
Trump isn’t canceling Israel’s funding — he’s doing what Netanyahu told him to do for optics, as they merge our military with Israel’s instead 🤨

What do the tech billionaires behind Donald Trump actually want? Absolute control.
Think about it:
-This is why they seek to dismantle democratic systems and make people obsolete.
-This is why they manufacture constant apocalyptic crises designed to justify power grabs.
-This is why they merge the corporate, government, and religious power into one monopoly.
-This is why they buy media outlets in order to destroy them (and control public opinion).
i got my hard work done so today is goof-off day.
